REXBURG - A Rexburg, Idaho woman says one of her cats recently attacked her and tried to kill her sending herself and her husband to the hospital. The Ostermiller family says their cat was completely normal until three days after it gave birth to kittens. But it soon became defensive, and the family says it tried to kill them.
It began last week on Tuesday at about 5:30 a.m. The Ostermiller's were sleeping when they heard a sound.
"All I heard was rrwwwrrrr hisss," Jackie Ostermiller said.
Jackie woke up and saw her cat, Renesmee, (named after the Twilight character) panicking. Jackie thinks a male cat had wandered by outside the home and Renesmee was protecting her kittens.
Jackie went to grab her cat to stop her from bolting out a hole in the screen door. That's when the kitty made its move.
"I was being mauled literally for the kill. She had got a hold of my nose first, my face first, my arms - I was literally screaming," she said.
Jackie's husband, Blaine, was able to pry the attacking feline off.
"I woke up hearing my wife scream, I didn't know what was going on until I looked over there, until I looked over there seeing (the cat) viciously attacking her," Blaine said.
But the cat had already made its mark. Jackie was left with 35 bite marks and 15 bruises.
The cat wasn't through. When Jackie was washing blood off her face, it came back and started attacking her leg a second time.
"She came at me with the deadliest eyes," Jackie said.
"I noticed she was looking at my wife with a weird look," Blaine said.
But even after this whole ordeal, the Ostermiller family hasn't turned their back on cats. They even plan on getting a new kitten soon. But they do have a word of caution.
"I want people to know how dangerous cats can be, they can turn on you in a dime. Believe it or not - cats!" she said.
Jackie feels that none of this would have happened either, if they had just spayed their cat. The family ended up giving up Renesmee to the Rexburg Shelter.
It's likely that it will be put down.

Cats are awesome.
I mean, look at the woman.
If somebody named me after a Twilight character, bite marks wouldn't be his biggest problem.
Its no secret cats do plot to kill their owners on a daily basis.
Cats! The musical wasn't too bad, cats themselves are awesome, she must be retarded or something. How is it physically possible to get mauled by a cat, she must have limbs of jelly (gelatinous goody, not jam)
Requesting that comic of the cat getting the owner in trouble.
Its common sense to know that you do not attempt to go near a cats kittens right after it has kitted. Thats why she got mauled, and now the cats going to pay for defending her kitties. Seriously, if your going to own a cat, fucking learn about it before you do anything.
Fucking stupid bitch. She probably did something to piss it off but she is too dumb to realize it. How exactly can a small cat bruise you?
I wouldn't mind she's ugly anyway

Fuckers have claws and sharp teeth. There have been several cases of cats severely fucking up people breaking into their houses.

:frog:
She named it after a twilight character, the cat has a right to kill her.

This basically.
That family is fucking retarded. You don't go near a cat's kittens right after they were born. People should be required by law to prove they know how to deal with animals before they can legally get a pet. Like a test that if you pass, you get a license that legally allows you to own a pet. One of my cats had kittens before, and after they were born, she didn't let us get anywhere near them for about 3 days.
So she was nearly mauled by her cat, I wonder what these people do when this happens, yell "No kitty! Bad kitty!"? Seriously if a cat jumps at you biting and clawing, you punch it (since this was an attack, not a playful bite or a "fuck off" bite).

That said, naming a cat after Twilight? Why am I not surprised after seeing her picture?
Really her own damn fault for going near the cat when she was freaking out. My cat does that too sometimes, usually just runs in a ring under the sofa until he calms down completely.

Also: Cats are natural predators and damn deadly. Stand the fuck back if one is angry.
My cat mauled my face one time, but she just wanted to go behind me and my face was in her way. For awhile, it looked like someone beat me. I still have a scar through my lip.
So you grabbed a pissed-off cat that just gave birth and was in full hormonal defensive mode.
What exactly did you expect to happen? Idiot.

Then why the hell do you want anything to do with them? Cats are fucking horrible, you shell out money to feed them and everything and they hate you for it.
I wish someone would put this woman down.
